The Beat
October 5, 2011
The rhythm tells a story,
Of ancient gods who win with glory.
A princess lost out at sea,
Is found at last by her meant to be.
The sleeper deep at rest,
Awakened by the utmost stress.
A child awaiting peace,
Starves again without a single plea;
For something that is more than food,
It is a way to bring up the mood.
The drums beat;
A sailor’s fleet.
The harp strums;
An angel hums.
The notes are sung;
There is a hum,
And with that comes a different story,
A different meaning to you and me.
